"This is a made-up miscellany: only the first gathering and last eleven gatherings ... appear to have been printed expressly for it. The intervening material consists of four pamphlets, each of which had originally an independent existence" (Case).

Contents: 'Two epistles to Mr. Pope', by Edward Young; 'An essay on satire,' by W. Harte; 'Harlequin-Horace', by James Miller; 'An epistle to Mr. Pope from a young gentleman at Rome'; 'Certain epigrams in laud and praise of the gentlemen of the Dunciad'; 'An author to be let' 'Essays, letters, and other occasional pieces relating to the late war of the dunces'.

'Two epistles to Mr. Pope' has a separate titlepage dated 1730.
